Post Type Switcher

The simplest way to change a post's type in WordPress

Description

This plugin adds a simple post type dropdown to the post editor interface, allowing you to reassign any post to a new post type. It allows you to switch post's type while editing your post.

Supported Types

The plugin can convert nearly every combination of posts, pages, attachments, and even custom post types:

  • Page to Post
  • Post to Page
  • Page to Attachment
  • Post to Custom

Invisible post types, such as revisions, menus, etc., are purposely excluded. But, if you need to access invisible post types, you can adjust the boundaries using the 'pts_post_type_filter' filter.

Bulk Editing

With bulk editing, thanks to Matthew Gerring, you can select all the posts in a certain type and convert them to a new type with one quick action.

Why would I need this?

Does this ruin my taxonomy associations?
